TV Remote Control Apps for Easy Smart TV Control | 3

Update: Sep 7, 2026 · 898 apps reviewed

TV remote control apps turn a phone or tablet into a quick way to manage a smart TV without hunting for the physical remote. The best options go beyond basic channel and volume buttons, adding keyboard input, app launching, casting shortcuts, and support for multiple TV brands or streaming devices. Choosing the right tool depends on your setup: some apps work only on the same Wi-Fi network, while others also handle casting or voice-based control. A strong option feels responsive, connects reliably, and keeps the controls simple enough for everyday use.
